2010 in Film

While I am not a professional critic, I’m posting my awards for this year’s crop in film. As for the top ten films this year, for the most part, I am in agreement with the American Film Institute on the top of the crop this year. However, I’m doing animated movies seperately as it was very hard to choose between How To Train Your Dragon and Toy Story 3.

Best Animated Feature (Tie):How To Train Your Dragon and Toy Story 3Best Director: David Fincher, The Social NetworkBest Original Screenplay: Christopher Nolan, InceptionBest Adapted Screenplay: Aaron Sorkin, The Social Network

Best Actor: Ben Stiller, GreenbergBest Actress: Anne Hathaway, Love and Other DrugsBest Supporting Actor: Mark Wahlberg, Date NightBest Supporting Actress: Eva Mendes, The Other GuysBreakthrough Performance in Comedy: Emma Stone, Easy ASurprising Performance in a Comedy from a Dramatic Actor: Mark Wahlberg, Date Night and The Other GuysActor Most Likely to Be In Every Movie This Year: T.J. Miller (She’s Out of My League, How To Train Your Dragon, Get Him to the Greek, Unstoppable, Yogi Bear, and Gulliver’s Travels)

I was unable to limit it to only 10 movies. I just couldn’t.

I had such high expectations for How Do You Know before the movie came out. Unfortunately, it was overlong despite a star-studded cast and James L. Brooks' involvement with writing and directing the movie.
